Morning all. Arsenal players seem to be walking a tightrope all too often. One booking away from a ban. Sokratis Papastathopoulos is currently serving a two match domestic ban for totting up too many yellow cards and he, together with Granit Xhaka and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are in danger of missing our next but one Europa […]

Morning all. Well I didn’t see that coming. A red card for Troy Deeney very early in the first half. Apparently he’d said something about wacking the first Arsenal player and see who wants it, last season that is after we collapsed at Vicarage Road. Last night he whacked Lucas Torreira and was sent for […]
Morning all. For one minute there I thought ITV were bringing back This Is Your Life with Unai Emery as the host. I can see a similarity to Eamonn Andrews. Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira return to the squad today. Just what, or rather who we need in the side to prove we don’t lack […]
Morning all. Huddersfield weren’t expected to get anything from their trip to Toots yesterday but West Ham must feel very disappointed not to have gone home with a point from Old Trafford. A goal disallowed for them and two penalties awarded to Utd, oh the irony. Perhaps Liverpool will do us a favour later and […]
Morning guys. A short one, a frustrated one because yet again, the FA seem to be doing all they can to stuff our season up. We don’t need their help in that department because when it comes to away fixtures, were doing a good job of it ourselves. We played last Sunday, away, then Napoli […]
Morning guys. 45 minutes of really good football. Some of the best this Arsenal team has produced I think. The Emery press, slick passing and really good goal scoring opportunities created. We took two of them. Ramsey and Torreira, although the latter took a deflection to beat their young keeper. BT Sport seemed disappointed that […]
Good morning. Just a few days ago, AMN gave an interview about his life growing up in London and how not always having things easy made him the person he is today. It’s kind of like many other footballers story really and not always English or British players either. All over the world there are […]
Good morning. Nice to see the back of the rain for a while. There’s an odd looking yellow thing in the sky in West Berkshire too. Perhaps it’s shining in celebration of the news about Harry Kane. I wouldn’t wish injury on a fellow human being but at this stage of the season, any help […]
Good morning. What matters isn’t how well you play when you’re playing well. What matters is how well you play when you’re playing badly. Martina Navratilova. Martina Navratilova, one of the greatest sportswomen ever, didn’t do bad very often during her prime but even when she appeared to be having an off day, she […]
Good morning. VAR was in use at Wembley yesterday. Anthony Taylor had a chance to prove its benefits before its introduction to the league next season but he blew it big time. If he couldn’t see Kyle Walker’s headbutt on Alireza Jahanbakhsh deserved a straight red card then what hope do we have? Brighton should […]
Good morning. One game at a time, one performance at at time, that’s what Unai Emery is about and how he and his players will approach the rest of the season. Less than two months to go now and by the time you’ve eaten all your Easter eggs, even less. I’ve no idea where this […]
Good morning. Having been holed up in one room for much of yesterday, I had a read around on other websites and it’s comments. Then general gripe seems to be the remaining fixtures and how the home v away games are unbalanced. Toots have an advantage appears to be a strong view as four […]
